"Disappointed with the result. The picture looks great and my biscuits looked great before going into the oven but expanded in the oven, so the facial features and pumpkin lines "smoothed" out and lost somewhat. Also, the biscuits need to be totally cooled - otherwise the mascarpone mixture warms up and becomes very runny. Lastly, the overall biscuit is very rich as it is essentially a double layer butter biscuit and mascarpone. I'm going to try and convert the remaining mixture into some sort of "blondie" by adding more flour and some egg into the biscuit mixture!"

"Absolutely the best mulled wine I've had. Many guests said they don't normally like mulled wine but were begging for this recipe. I would suggest good quality wine as it makes all the difference."

"5 stars to Gordon's lemon tart. I loved the dark chocolate after-taste. I didn't have a blow torch but it looked and tasted lovely anyway. I also now know how to make the perfect pastry for other tarts."
